TL;DR: The data support the notion that the surgical intervention promoted enhanced BCAA metabolism by mechanisms separate from weight loss and suggest that changes in circulating amino acids pave the road to the correction of glycemic control observed after GBP.

TL;DR: A cluster of metabolites comprising BCAAs and related analytes predicts improvement in HOMA-IR independent of the amount of weight lost, which may help identify individuals most likely to benefit from moderate weight loss and elucidate novel mechanisms of IR in obesity.

TL;DR: Return to the disabled list after Tommy John surgery is common among professional pitchers (>50%), and performance declines across several major metrics after surgery, including earned run average, batting average against, walks plus hits per inning pitched, and average fastball velocity.

TL;DR: There is no consensus regarding how frequently BRCA mutation carriers should be screened for malignancies using breast imaging techniques, but an interval malignancy found during the period between annual screening mammography scans indicates that themalignancy either went undetected by the last breast imaging scan or developed during the interval since that last scan.

TL;DR: It is suggested that targeted, relatively short interventions applied at critical transition points may enhance the efficacy of long-term supports for persons with severe mental illness who are living in the community.
